I personally found the trial misleading for 2 reasons. But yes the trial gave good relief in the calves of my legs, which were feeling very heavy...due Stenosis I believe. It didnt give much back relief but walking was much easier.
I didn't think the allotted time , not even 4 full days was sufficient for an accurate assessment and also its a bit hard to judge due the uncomfortableness of the procedure.
Because the trial " hardware" was so minimal I was lulled into a false sense that the procedure was not overly invasive. The first inkling I had was just before being put 'out' my Dr said ' be prepared, you are going to be pretty sore when you wake up' ...right then I wanted out....I felt my Dr hadn't been honest with me...but I went into it with a positive attitude .
I think pain makes us desperate but its so wrong Drs minimize this procedure, that's my concern. Gd luck to us all !!
